So, as I read this, several people on this list have told you this in several ways, really working at getting you to
understand when you didn't seem to.
You spent a lot of time experimenting, with just the results they told you to
expect.
Then some guy in a pro shop tells you the same thing and now you believe it.
Have I got it right?
I suppose "That, he said repeatedly" means he had a hard time getting through,
too.
Had you been paying attention, you would have already known that at least two of those here who actually make money at
photography, as well as others who post excellent images, have recommended Silver Effects Pro for B&W conversion.
The one who actually sells large prints for real money, including B&Ws, has
enthused about it several times.
What you needed was right here, all the time.

I visited the local pro camera shop this afternoon, and the resident B&W
expert was there behind the counter. Since there were very few customers, I got to
speak with him at length. I described what I had been doing, what the results
were, and what my expectations were.
He told me that the nature of digital B&W photography is such that most, if not
all digital cameras have similar problems with B&W, that they will not process filters
(either glass or internal emulations) properly, and that the results are far from what we
experience with B&W film. That, he said repeatedly, is the nature of the technology.
As I described the lack of darkening sky when going through yellow, then
orange, and finally red filters he just nodded. Seems that the problem is
widely known and that there is little that can be done to overcome it.
He did recommend a B&W post processing software by the name of "Silver Affects
Pro". I'm going to look into that tomorrow when I have a WiFi connection.
